☉ No Ones Home is a proposal by Diogo Paixão Igor Fidalgo and Mariana Silva for 120 hours designed in 2016. Unrevealed location. Its scale is medium. The concept of section is explored.
This home has no site, so it faces itself. A wall that guides you through eleven doors, each one reflecting a different level of intimacy: Five colossal doors take you to the first space – the hypostyle hall – the highest and widest space of all. A multipurpose room where you can just be.
– One tall, narrow door leads you to the fire, the place to gather around.
– Two twin doors show you to the place where you can cook, eat, feed.
– One single door hides the private room, where you can bathe.
– One small, wide door lets you in the rounded space reminiscent of a baby’s cradlw where you can sleep. There is an inner space for absolute seclusion.
– One last door takes you upstairs to the last room, where the sky is the roof. Even though this house has no function, it can still be a home. A home for (a) man.
Basic needs reflect different spatial qualities. The house is ultimately a shelter.
